Sure, and it has nothing to do with the big ass vehicles being churned out due to loopholes in US law.

Fozzie holds up a hand. "We don't do that here!"

He runs to the opposite end of the landing pad, away from the camera

"We do that over HERE!"

"I just heart my Ubuntu, and my computer friend was right: this was easy to install!... wait a sec. What do you mean it's only got 3 months of support left?!? You told me to get the latest version!"

I don't doubt you cleaned up it up well. But you are the exception rather than the rule for experiencing Windows 11.

The absolute shitfest that is the incessant integration with Bing and other online only tech is the biggest problem. If you have muscle memory like I do to start button + type keyword for a program + enter, it is unbearably slow to respond at times for the search to catch up. Or my new favorite, getting ready to hit enter, only to have it change the current selection right before.

And this is to say nothing of the critical settings you can no longer directly control or are just broken. Want to change the power profile of your laptop? Buried. Want to get an estimate on your battery time remaining? Better open the registry. Want to switch your background? Well, roll the dice on that high resolution PNG you just created; unlike 10, 11 fails on some backgrounds of certain filetypes if they're over a certain size (try a detailed PNG over 3000x4000). Just want a plain old Documents directory that isn't integrated with OneDrive? Happy hunting; turning it off ain't enough anymore.

Unspoken here is the third option: navigate a series of untextured raised rectangular platforms littered with smaller rectangles that will fire you automatically if you touch them, designed by an 8 year old that got bored halfway through the engineering phase and wandered off to play Breakin Story 2.

The good news is that, for only 399 robux a month, you can get VIP membership, which includes a coil that allows you to immediately jump over the entire platform and land into a dated pile of two dimensional meme sprites they meant to clean up.

Friend, while I appreciate the time and effort on the docs, it has a rather tiny section on one of the truly worst aspects of pip (and the only one that really guts usability): package conflicts.

Due to the nature of Python as an interpreted language, there is little that you can check in advance via automation around "can package A and package B coexist peacefully with the lowest common denominator of package X"? Will it work? Will it fail? Run your tool/code and hope for the best!

Pip is a nightmare with larger, spawling package solutions (i.e. a lot of the ML work out there). But even with the freshest of venv creations, things still go remarkably wrong rather quick in my experience. My favorite is when someone, somewhere in the dependency tree forgets to lock their version, which ends up blossoming into a ticking time bomb before it abruptly stops working.

Hopefully, your experiences have been far more pleasant than mine.

Hahaha!....

Oh shit, you're serious.

It's all fun and games until the wheel variant you need for your hardware acceleration package conflicts with that esoteric math library you planned on using.

"Hey Manager Amy Zone, can I have a bit of time off for my leg to heal? It was just partially crushed by a stack of Prime Day boxes."

"Employee 3869310, in the time it took you to get across the warehouse to ask me that dumbass question, you just used up the last of your bathroom breaks for the day. As an act of mercy, here's my empty Amazon Basics Hyrdration Drink bottle. Just try not to piss all over the floor when you use it. Now get your ass back to work!"

Yes! It's the epitome of clarity. I gotta admit, when I hear the accent, I immediately assume the person is American.

Hey, as an American I found that quite...ah, accurate.

It does vary by which part of the states you get someone from, but yes, apparently we get quite loud (if only to speak over our abundant amounts of cars and gunfire). And is charming as it can be to some, the variations in accents you find on the south and eastern areas in particular can get old quick.
